As most of them are kinda expensive. You could probably fine a torrent or something, to try out the program/s to see if you think it would be worth buying...

As did I, I was pleasantly surprised to say the least.
Nice guide though. (even though I didn't use it :p) I used the idea though, and I thank you for it. ^^

Logging in, after warps and session changes was the biggest. I haven't really compared it to anything else, but it was quite noticeable, in those two at least.
I like the one .bat file that Di Jiensai made as well, quite nifty.

I was wanting to try to put mu whole eve folder on it, but I'm around 100MB short. So I was wondering, what folders do you think would be most beneficial if I where to put them on the RAMDisk?

Well you could put individual STUFF files on a RAMdisk by using the rightclick-drag-create hardlink feature of NTFS Link. I'd pick the ones that you access most during gameplay--i.e. not the tutorial one, not the COSMOS one, etc.
Ok, I'll give that a try, thanks!

The result seemed pretty damn effective and rather easy to setup.
If we put cache to RAM drive and it makes game faster, well... hm... isn't that a flashing point to CCP devs that they really should have changed something in their cache architecture already?
Not really, I think.
CCP could quite easily implement such a thing as a feature in EVE, but it would drastically raise RAM usage, which would hurt those who don't have tons of extra RAM.
Well, you could always have an option for it. On/Off/Custom.

I'm still interested in more specifically where you're going to see an increase? I don't notice a lot of problems at the moment, but I'm always trying to squeeze more out of my rig.
Curious as to when you're going to notice a difference in-game, with what sort of actions/scenarios, etc., if anyone wouldn't mind commenting who's setup things already. :)
Thanks
Since you asked, I'll just quote me from an earlier post.

Just my experiences anyhow.

The batch file isn't anywhere, you have to make it.
Here is the one Di made, you only need one for it, just open notepad and put that in it, edit the lines that say so, than save it as EVE.bat or something .bat it will then save it as a batch file. Mine is E:\Program Files\CCP\EVE so remove that line and put your path name there. Same with the S:\cache line. Can't get much simpler than that. Enjoy.
@echo off
REM edit line below with your full eve path(no trailing \)
set EVEPATH=E:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
REM edit line below with your full ramdisk cache folder path (no trailing \)
set RAMPATH=S:\cache
@echo copying files, Please wait
xcopy /C /I /D /K /R /E /H "%EVEPATH%\cache2" %RAMPATH%
@echo files copied
"%EVEPATH%\eve.exe"
cls
@echo (only press when you shutdown eve)
pause
rmdir /s /q "%EVEPATH%\cache2"
xcopy /C /I /D /K /R /E /H %RAMPATH% "%EVEPATH%\cache2\"
rmdir /s /q %RAMPATH%
mkdir %RAMPATH%
exit

Hate to seem like I am going on about this, but just use the one batch file made by Di. Rename it EVE put in on your desktop, delete your old short cut and you are done. You only need one file it even auto starts EVE and when you close EVE all you do is select the window and press a key, and it saves the files. Works great...you can even change the icon if you don't like the .bat file look.

Strange, I had that problem BEFORE I started using a RAMDisk for my eve folders. After I started using it I no longer had that problem.
